With the growth of the company in India, Reed Elsevier wanted to have a solution for managing their internal Payroll process. They chose Sage Pocket after a rigorous evaluation of Payroll products.

Reed Elsevier has been using Sage Pocket Payroll, Time tracking solution and Online integrated modules. They have found the applications very user friendly, self supportive and well integrated. On top of this, they are very happy about the support from Sage which as per them is a friendly customer-oriented approach.

Sage's solutions have actually enabled them to focus on value added and strategic activities making them free from the tedious activities like payroll process, data upload, MIS reports and attendance management.

R.S Raman, General Manager, Sage Pocket, says, “Sage Pocket’s capability of addressing the SME market from the stand point of Payroll solutions is excellent. It has enabled Reed Elsevier India to automate their payroll function and replace manual processes. The solution enables them to eliminate processing errors related to calculations, deductions and statutory regulations thereby reducing costs and improving efficiency.”

Thomas Abraham, Managing Director, Sage India, stated, “Sage is focused on the SME segment with a range of business applications. Sage Pocket, with over 300 customers in India is expected to rapidly grow given the relatively low penetration of Payroll software in the SME segment.
